Overview

Take a guided day trip from Paris to explore Normandy’s historic D-Day sites.

Start at Utah Beach, where American troops first landed, and learn about the strategic planning behind Operation Overlord. Walk along the battle-scarred coastline and hear stories of the soldiers who helped shape history.

Enjoy a pre-arranged Norman-style lunch in a charming port town before heading to Pointe du Hoc. Here, U.S. Army Rangers bravely scaled towering cliffs to capture a key German stronghold. The site remains much as it was, with bomb craters and bunkers overlooking the English Channel.

Next, visit Omaha Beach, where you'll have time to walk along the shore and reflect on one of the war’s fiercest battles.

The day ends at the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, where nearly 10,000 soldiers are laid to rest. Stroll through the peaceful grounds and take in the powerful tribute to their sacrifice.

This immersive tour offers a moving and unforgettable look at the events of D-Day.

Utah Beach

Utah Beach was the westernmost landing site on D-Day and played a crucial role in the success of the Allied invasion. Unlike Omaha Beach, the landings here were met with lighter resistance, allowing troops to move inland more quickly and secure vital strategic positions. Standing on Utah Beach today, with its vast stretch of sand and open coastline, gives a powerful sense of the scale of the operation and the courage of the soldiers who fought there. The site remains a deeply significant place to reflect on the challenges of D-Day and the determination that led to the liberation of Europe.

Pointe du Hoc

Pointe du Hoc stands as one of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring D-Day battle sites. Perched on steep cliffs overlooking the English Channel, it was a heavily fortified German stronghold that posed a major threat to the Allied landings. On June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers heroically scaled the 100-foot cliffs under relentless enemy fire to seize the position. Today, the site remains largely untouched, with original German bunkers, bomb craters, and shattered fortifications serving as a powerful reminder of the battle’s intensity. Walking through this rugged terrain offers a deep appreciation for the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought to secure this pivotal stronghold.

Walking along the shoreline allows you to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who landed here. Seeing the vast expanse of sand and imagining the events of June 6, 1944, provides a powerful, personal connection to history that no museum or monument alone can offer.
